A beauty pageant has booted a contestant out the competition after discovering that she was born a boy. The Miss Universe Canada, Jenna Talackova was thrown out by the organizers, when they found out that she had undergone surgery to become a woman.

Jenna Talackova had already successfully reached the finals in the Miss Vancouver pageant before she was banned from continuing in the competition. Although the pageant organizers described Jenna Talackova as a real girl, they disqualified her saying that the rules state that each contestant must be a naturally born female.

According to Denis Davila, the national director of Miss Universe Canada, Jenna Talackova wrote on her registration form that she was born a female. But, after becoming suspicious Davila confronted the 23-year-old about her sex change and she admitted that she was actually born a male.

Despite her pleas to stay in the pageant her confession meant that she was pulled from the contest that same day. 'She feels like a real girl and she is a real girl. She didn't expect people to question it,' Davila told.

'She was hoping we could put her back in the competition, but the rules are very clear and there's no way we can go back on it.'
